Community Edition

Ever-growing Functionality

The open source tool OpenChrom® is based on the Eclipse
rich-client platform (RCP). The architecture of the software is
designed for high modularity and flexibility - a perfect prerequisite
for the implementation of additional functionalities to suit the
needs of the users. With the self-set target of two new releases each
year we aim to meet the requests of users for additional features. In addition to the OpenChrom® software platform a multitude of
plug-ins are made available including the much demanded data format
converters. Most plug-ins are free to use. (Available plug-ins)

Community

To provide a free but also useful tool for the community, the growing
functionality of the software has to be accompanied by a steadily
expanded documentation. The installed Wiki allows users to share
their elaborated workflows with the community. In addition, video tutorials and technical blogs are made
available to reduce the barrier of „getting started“. It may still
happen that you run into problems on using OpenChrom®
Community Edition. In this instance, please feel free to contact us
with your request. If you want to get involved as a developer
of new plug-ins we will certainly assist you and guarantee to publish
your plug-in under an open source licence.

Students & Universities

The OpenChrom® Community Edition specifically suits the needs of
students and University personnel dealing with chromatography or mass
spectrometry. Open source software allows users to perform data analysis at
home or in the office without acquiring additional software licences.
Furthermore, research activities cover a broad spectrum and demand
for flexible and extendable software tools to solve the tasks. Newly
developed, promising data-processing algorithms or visualization
approaches can be implemented and made available for the community.
We are open to collaboration and assistance to facilitate such
implementations. Do not hesitate to contact us.
